Coche-Dury Meursault Les Rougeots 2004

93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2004 Rougeots from Coche-Dury is a stellar example of the vintage that is still a few years away from its peak, but with extended aeration is a glorious bottle right now. The very classic and captivating nose offers up a blend of fresh orange, passion fruit, iodine, a touch of hazelnut, striking minerality, gentle notes of pastry cream and a bit of toasty new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and very, very racy, with a great core of fruit, laser-like focus, lovely transparency and a very long, complex and snappy finish. Lovely juice. 2010-2030. (Mar/Apr 2009)"

93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2004 Meursault Les Rougeots is a vintage that I have not encountered previously and proves a very pleasant surprise considering the vintage. It is a little deeper in color than I was expecting however, the nose is immediately entrancing with wet stone mixed with orange blossom, quite astonishing delineation, later traces of yellow plum and jasmine emerging. Both nose and palate sport a very subtle reduction (less than other vintages in my experience). It retains wonderful tension and poise, perfect salinité with an understated and yet energetic finish that remains over the course of two hours in the glass. Drink: 2018-2032. (Jul 2018)"

'Outstanding'/92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Moderate oak influence mixes with reserved white flower and notably ripe peach aromas that merge into elegant and very pure, rich, sweet and punchy flavors that are wonderfully deep and deliver first class intensity, all wrapped in an impeccably balanced finish. A striking wine by any measure but particularly so for a villages level wine - this will require patience. Drink: 2013+. (Jul 2007)"
